Dear Mom,
Here are all the things I wish you knew: You are the cause of practically every problem in our household. Do you think I am over-exaggerating, probably, but i do not care because it is the truth. Mum, the whole family revolves around your needs, your SELFISH. Thats right I said it.
Yeah it hurts to hear these things, but lets face it, the world revolves around jane. And I cant stand it!!! You know what else? I am jealous. I want a little attention to, in fact i want a lot of attention, but i cant seem to get it from you, or dad, or even sarah. Do you know why that is? Its because they are too busy concentrating on you mum.
I am so screwed up I cant go a single day without crying, because you have broken me down. Every time you insult me, call me stupid, make me cry, I get a little bit weaker. Eventually I'll just crumble.
The worst part is I have become a double personality. At school or with my friends I am this happy person, always perky, in a good mood, willing to help someone out, but at home I have to fight this overwhelming depression. I could easily spend a day in my room just pittying myself.
I am sorry that I wasnt perfect enough for you. I'm sorry that my grades arent good enough, sorry that I sometimes argue or fight back. I never mean to.
My worst fear is that I will be just like you. That when I have a family of my own I will treat them like you've treated us, and my daughters and sons will lead an unhappy childhood as I have, I hope that never happens.
Mum, why cant you understand that your behavior is killing me. I can feel physical pain, my heart aches in the hopes that one day you'll understand.
I just hope by that time it isnt too late.
